Maybe I missed something, but why wouldn't an ID field work as the unique key ? :-)

It would work perfectly, were this an application that owned its own database, and could therefore dictate the design thereof. But in an access utility (which is what we're actually discussing here), can we always assume that we will have the privilege of dealing with a well-constructed database, with a proper primary key?
